Coming up to Christmas and reporter Stephen Grey is embedded with B Company 2 Yorks in southern Afghanistan during Operation Snakebite. Their mission: to take the Taliban stronghold of Musa Qala. For some this battle will be their last.In the thick of the fighting Grey provides a breathtaking boots-and-bullets glimpse of combat chaos as British American and Afghan forces struggle to secure a dusty little desert town known to be crucial to the drug trade. Operation Snakebite reveals everything you need to know about the brutal conflict in Afghanistan: from the political infighting and bureaucratic interference to the frontline troops soldiering on with unsuitable gear and poor intelligence.
